Framingham Family Hosting 2nd Annual Pints For Emma Blood Drive

A Framingham family is asking the community to participate in a blood drive at Children's Hospital, in honor of their daughter.

She received chemotherapy at Dana-Farber for the cancer of the white blood cells. And last December, she returned to her classroom at Dunning Elementary in Framingham.

Emma, now 8, “is doing great,” said her mom Jessica.
